They can all go in the freezer. The range of things you can stash in there is amazingly versatile, and freezing can be an easy way to lengthen the shelf life of foods, prevent leftovers from going to waste and save time on prep work during busy weekdays. In fact, it's so easy, we can sometimes forget that not everything does well in sub-0 degree F temperatures. "Anything can freeze, but the quality of certain foods will deteriorate," says Jonathan Deutsch, Ph.D., a professor at Drexel University and director of the Drexel Food Lab. What happens is this: Water expands when frozen, and at the cellular level, that results in burst cell walls and a resulting change in texture, which is why defrosted items can sometimes seem soggy. Improperly wrapped foods are also subject to freezer burn, which means that they have been exposed to oxygen, which can alter their taste and appearance, and leech water from the food so it's dried out. Foods may also develop an off taste due to absorbing other odors from the freezer (a good reason to keep an open box of baking soda in there). But even properly wrapped, the following foods can be problematic to freeze and thaw:

From those burning, churning feelings that erupt whenever we eat our favorite foods, to the bloating that keeps us from zipping up our jeans, to the gas that can make us the most unpopular person in the elevator, our stomach can be the cause of some major inconveniences, if not some outright health concerns. Still, experts say most folks know painfully little about how their stomach and their digestive tract operates -- one reason that solving tummy troubles can seem much harder than it has to be. "There are some very popular misconceptions concerning stomach health, most of which can really lead people astray on how to effectively deal with certain problems," says Mark Moyad, MD, director of preventive and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. David Greenwald, MD, agrees. "Sometimes what seems like a complex, difficult or even frightening problem really is a simple one, with a simple solution, if you can separate the myths from the facts," says Greenwald, an associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. To help set the record straight, Greenwald, Moyad, and NYU director of pediatric gastroenterology Joseph Levy, MD, helped WebMD prepare the following gut-busting challenge. Try to separate the myths from the facts to see how much you really know about how to keep your tummy healthy and happy.
